Washing clothes at the moment and sighing heavily. Not too long from now the college up the road will allow its students back, some of which are good friends of mine. I'm hoping that after classes they wouldn't mind dropping by to see ol' RaBee and his shut-in little cavern, not that I'm spoiling myself in un-productivity. I always try and stay chipper and happy, like a good friend of mine recommended. It helps. Life doesn't seem so trudging and vague. Everything seems to have some higher purpose, like Agent Smith said once. And through that I'm finding a bit of purpose, going to place where I'm most needed.

I've made a lot of friend lately. and they've adding in keeping me company while I sort things. It's very comforting, using this expensive tool for communicative gain instead of just a pr0n-copia. That's what these creature are built for, after all.

Well, Doom 3 on Nightmare Mode looks to be damn near impossible. I can see myself playing it as far until a boss or a tough run and gun section and just putting it down, never to, or rarely picking it up again unless a friend wants to see it, which will make it the only setting I play the game on in the hopes of lucking out and squeezing just a little bit father, having a cohort there as the drive and push to do better (and show-off). And that' much like how I treated a lot of my games today, from Devil May Cry and its tear jerking Dante Must Die mode, to Sonic Adventure 2 and its non-Gamecube version self that doesn't allow me to check the stats of my Chao.

Once I find an unreachable apex of a game, one that I willing seek for and pursue in all my games, I grow ill of it and find other distraction . For a while, that was how I treated Mario Kart DS, the only DS game I still own (Not the Face!!*ducks*). Once I got off my high horse on the The Next Level forums about how proficient “snaking” is, and I was enlighten by a member that knows the tactic, but doesn't exercise it in every match because 'it's f**kin' Mario Kart', I had my epiphany about what a total geek I was being about the game and ascertained to just have fun and not treat my ingame ranking as my cock size. And, on that note, is it health to lose yourself in a game so far as to forget to have fun at the same time? Playing for the sake of scoring has to be the most sour and bitter reason to play a game,...and yet there are so many cases like this. Whose to say that the guy who pursues the world record for SSBM target tests and angrily posts of message boards about how cheatful and uncreative their variation are on achieving the score is that much different from...well, I would have taking a bit from WoW...but my train of thought has left me and there are enough people picking on that cash cow anywho.

But, right now I'm feeling the need to challenge a friend to some time trails in GTA:SA. And it's not belligerent cock wavering. Just an excuse to have fun, giving our far distance away from one another, trying to mend our distance. And that's cool. When you're trying to reach out to this person instead of treating him as just another set skill level of stat for you to overcome, it helps keep the game and the fun alive, instead of just the score. Cause that shit is always going to change, so long as their are other people around that still play the game, finding exploits and whathaveyou.
